Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)
6/10
Not Star Trek
1 April 2020
Pros:

Patrick Stewart. Beautiful graphics. Decent, short fight scenes. Held off on cameos for a few episodes.

Meh:

Computer UI reflects what is shown in other movies today and not very trek-like. Some scenes are out of order. It's cool and all, but will likely date very quickly. Stewart far outshines almost all the other actors. Lots of backstory added to make each episode make sense. The story is mediocre and people's beliefs are cliche.. Trek is more of the setting rather than the content.

Cons:

A lot of cussing. Everybody has a stupid sad backstory. The amount of coincidences in who knows whom is ridiculous. They added a Jedi, except he uses a real sword instead of a lightsaber. There is almost no tension when anyone does anything. People seems to have magical powers to do this or that.

The first episode is very nice, the second episode is stupid. The others are okay. The story itself is meh and cliche. It feels like a stretched out movie, kind of like Star Trek 9.

While i would not say it is a waste of time, it's not really Star Trek either.
